Understanding Hyper-IgE Syndrome: Natural History and Genetics
This study follows people with or suspected Hyper-IgE syndrome (a rare immune disorder causing repeated infections and skin problems) to understand how the condition develops, how best to manage it, and which genes are involved. Researchers also welcome healthy relatives of patients to help identify genetic patterns.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 month–120 years - NCT00412594RecruitingPhase 2
Cladribine plus rituximab for hairy cell leukemia
This trial tests whether a combination of two medicines—cladribine and rituximab—can treat hairy cell leukemia. You might be able to join if your leukemia is confirmed and you meet timing, blood test, and health requirements.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT01746836RecruitingPhase 2
Ponatinib for CML that didn’t respond to prior pills
This trial studies ponatinib as a second treatment for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) when it didn’t fully respond or couldn’t be tolerated with at least one prior CML pill. It aims to see whether ponatinib can better control leukemia levels after earlier treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT02064673RecruitingPhase 3
Adjuvant curcumin after prostate surgery to prevent cancer return
This Phase 3 trial studies whether taking curcumin (a supplement made from turmeric) after radical prostatectomy can help keep prostate cancer from coming back. Participants are men with low-risk, surgery-only disease and undetectable PSA, and the study checks recurrence-free survival over time.
Dallas, TexasAges 30–80 - NCT01913106RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing valacyclovir with an added cancer gene in prostate radiation
This Phase 1/2 study tests whether adding a cancer-targeting gene therapy (HSV-tk) and the antiviral medicine valacyclovir to brachytherapy can better treat recurrent prostate cancer in the prostate area. It may help by making cancer cells more vulnerable to the treatment.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT01365169Recruiting
How activity level and daily function relate to cancer survival
This study looks at how physical activity (movement during the day) and a clinician-rated “day-to-day function” score relate to overall survival in people with certain cancers. It may help doctors understand who benefits most from activity-focused care and better monitoring.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT01906385RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Recurrent brain tumor study testing rhenium nano-liposome
This early-phase study tests a drug made of tiny fat-like particles carrying rhenium for recurrent (coming back) high-grade glioma. It mainly checks safety and the highest tolerable dose, and it also looks for signs the treatment may slow tumor growth.
Manhasset, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT01993498Recruiting
Study side effects of cancer treatment in localized breast or lung cancer
This study looks at long-term side effects from standard cancer treatments and how they affect daily life and resources. It may help improve care for people with breast or lung cancer that has not spread.
VillejuifAges 18 years+ - NCT02394626RecruitingPhase 2
Surgery for glioblastoma that has come back
This trial studies whether operating on a brain tumor that has returned can help people with recurrent glioblastoma. It focuses on people whose scans suggest surgery is safe for important speech and movement brain areas.
InnsbruckAges 18 years+ - NCT02476786RecruitingPhase 2
Hormone treatment only for older ER-positive breast cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether using hormone (endocrine) treatment alone can control breast cancer in people age 70 and older. It targets breast cancers that are estrogen-receptor positive and HER2 negative, aiming to avoid chemotherapy-like treatments in suitable patients.
St Louis, MissouriAges 70 years+ - NCT02669953Recruiting
Aflibercept injections for persistent wet macular degeneration
This trial studies whether aflibercept injections can help when “wet” age-related macular degeneration is recurring or not fully going away. It focuses on adults who have already had ranibizumab and still have measurable vision in the study eye.
ViennaAges 50 years+ - NCT02474160Recruiting
Banking cancer tissue and blood for future research
This study collects and stores leftover or newly taken samples of tissue and blood from people with cancer. The goal is to build a research library that can help investigators study cancer and develop better tests or treatments.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 2 months+ - NCT02732171Recruiting
Blood and bone marrow tests to track breast cancer return
This trial checks whether specific “surveillance” markers (measured from blood and bone marrow) can help predict if breast cancer comes back after standard treatments. It may help doctors monitor you more accurately and earlier if recurrence risk is high.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02754544Recruiting
Brain mapping during tumor surgery while you are awake
This study uses special recording sensors during brain tumor surgery to map the brain areas that control movement and speech. It may help the surgical team protect these key functions while removing the tumor.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT02292641Recruiting
MRI study for repeat pelvic colorectal cancer
This study uses a special MRI to help understand and stage colorectal cancer that has come back in the pelvis. The goal is to improve how doctors make treatment decisions after previous surgery.
OsloAges 16 years+ - NCT02701153Recruiting
Short pre-surgery radiation for soft-tissue sarcoma
This trial tests a short course of radiation before surgery to shrink a soft-tissue sarcoma and make it easier to remove. It may help by improving how well the tumor can be removed, while studying safety and effectiveness for this cancer type.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02800486RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted antibody plus repeat radiation for recurrent brain tumors
This trial studies giving cetuximab (a targeted antibody) directly into an artery along with repeat radiation to treat certain recurring or treatment-resistant brain tumors. It may help by delivering the drug more directly to tumor areas and testing whether this approach can control the disease after it comes back.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT03183115Recruiting
Prevent return of esophagus pre-cancer after endoscopy
This trial looks at a prevention treatment to stop esophagus abnormal growth (pre-cancer or very early cancer) from coming back after successful endoscopic submucosal dissection. It focuses on people whose esophagus lining shows a “speckled” pattern on a special iodine test, which may mean higher risk of recurrence.
Kaohsiung CityAges 20–90 - NCT03263572RecruitingPhase 2
Study medicines for Philadelphia-positive ALL or relapsed leukemia
This Phase 2 trial tests a combination of medicines to treat Philadelphia chromosome–positive (Ph-positive) or BCR-ABL–positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), including cases that have come back or did not respond. It may help by targeting specific leukemia signals while also aiming to improve disease control.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03295981RecruitingPhase 3
Bisphosphonate treatment to prevent giant cell tumor return
This study looks at whether taking a bone-strengthening medicine called a bisphosphonate after surgery can lower the chance that a giant cell tumor in a leg or arm comes back. It may help prevent recurrence after removing the tumor from the bone.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03270631Enrolling by invitation
Exercises and soft-tissue work for chronic low back pain
This study tests whether a combination of guided movement exercises and “fascial manipulation” (hands-on work on soft tissue) can help people with long-lasting low back pain. It may be an option if your back pain has not improved with non-surgery treatments or if you have post-surgery back pain.
OuluAges Any age - NCT02702310Recruiting
Low-dose whole-skin radiation for relapsed skin lymphoma
This trial studies a lower-dose radiation treatment that treats the whole skin to help people with mycosis fungoides that has come back or did not respond to prior treatment. If you qualify, it may offer another option when other therapies have stopped working.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT00107289RecruitingPhase 2
MIBG radioactive iodine treatment for hard-to-treat childhood tumors
This trial studies a radioactive medicine called iodine I-131 MIBG to shrink tumors that take up MIBG. It may help people whose neuroblastoma or malignant pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma has come back, progressed, or not responded to standard treatment.
